New Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs). Schools should cut in half the difference between current (2011) proficiency rates and 100 % proficiency in six years (2017) overall and for each subgroup in E/LA and Math.

New School Designations for Federal Differentiated Accountability Priority (Lowest Performing 5% of Title I Schools) Focus (10 % of Title I schools with the biggest achievement gaps and/or lowest subgroup achievement.
